I'm glad I have today off work so I can watch this system move towards us! 

WQ radar vs MO Doppler radar

I think a week of snow chances across the UK is a cold spell yes, would be nice to think any falls might not melt to fast but you can't have it all.

Don't get your expectations up every time people mention cold and snow, people seem to think that every snow or cold spell is going to be The perfect storm, welcome to reality the spectrum of different kinds of snow event is endless.

I do hope your cornflakes taste better tomorrow anyway

Wasn’t aware I was only allowed to use a phrase once  I respect where you are coming from but this isn’t a true cold spell for the majority of the south IMO, hopefully it delivers for many of you though, don’t begrudge anyone that. 

IMO this winter has promised a lot but delivered very little, we are feeding of scraps in truth.

The weathertrending update on Facebook by John won't get the heart beating with great enthusiasm for tonight - the snow cover timelapse he's posted forecasts patchy accumulations of 1cm at best through-out. Can't be ruled out

Medway looks tasty on that, fingers crossed.

Really hoping we get something decent tonight and over the next few days. Fingers crossed for everyone . 

My little boy would love the surprise of snow in the morning.

The met are getting more confident of the very much colder weather I see from there website... Hope it doesn't change .

 

UK Outlook for Tuesday 12 Feb 2019 to Tuesday 26 Feb 2019:

Cold or very cold conditions are likely to dominate the weather throughout this period, with a greater than average chance of easterly or northeasterly winds dominating. This would bring an enhanced risk of snow, as well as widespread and occasionally severe frosts, although the exact details remain very uncertain. In this setup, the driest and brightest weather is likely in the north and northwest. Despite the prevalence of cold weather, occasional milder interludes remain possible, most likely in the south, but this poses the risk of significant snow should very cold conditions become established.

That would be nice but I suspect that Southend will get nothing and my neck of the woods (Stansted) will get next to nothing or nothing at all in terms of snow fall. That's based on the airport TAFs and they are seldom wrong I am afraid.

Hoping that Thursday turns out to be a bit better because for me all hope of anything even half decent has gone for tonight.

Buzzing from 5pm to midnight tonight the ppn should land west of london start off as sleet then turn rapidly to snow with temperature s around 3c dropping to around 1-2c

Dew pts should be around 0c aswell so some places could see up to 5 cms

Happy radar watching is on its way

The ppn over wales is heading straight our way

I wonder where the confidence is coming from. Some support for the Siberian high to back West but they are beyond impossible to forecast especially at range. Their extended outlook has consistently gone for "cold or very cold" but has kept being pushed back and back, so I'm personally not convinced.
